BHM i had one of the pocket fisherman.I don’t remember it being to good for distance.I should have one now for flipping under trees.
I remember seeing some of those whirlaway’s did not know they had a name.
My first reel was a Sheakspeare Wondercast on a Berkeley Cherrywood rod. Still have them and they are in working order. It’s now a decoration at the cabin.

What about the Zebco 404 and if you were cool the <nobr style=”font-size: inherit”>chrome</nobr> 33 model.
i thought i had it made when i got upgraded to the 404 from the 202.
The 202 had that distinct sound at least mine did.
Found it

I still have my first 2 rods and reels. 2nd was a green Johnson Century and the 1st was a Whirlaway Great Lakes “75” I believe.
My dad was using his pocket fisherman this winter. It sure squeaked but did the job.
When I was skinny and had hair!
